Natural and cultural wealth in the tourism market plays a significant role in tourism development ideally in a sustainable way. The papers´ research evaluates the potential of old beech forests and primeval beech forests in Europe as targets for possible future nature tourism, emphasizing their ecological, aesthetic, and cultural significance. The analysis, which utilizes a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods including the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Mann-Whitney test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman correlation coefficient processed through Gretl software, highlights the significant role these forests play in biodiversity conservation, climate regulation, and sustainable development in the context of the area of the country, where they are located. These forests, rated as premium destinations for nature tourism or ecotourism, should be integrated into broader tourism strategies. Their preservation and proper utilization can significantly contribute to the development of the local economy while also providing educational and recreational opportunities for residents and tourists.
